The Golf World Is Outraged That Tiger Woods Didn't Get Disqualifiedhttp://www.businessinsider.com/golf-world-outraged-about-tiger-woods-ruling-2013-4/comments

Well, I am not a Tiger hater. Even after his off course ungentlemanly conduct (becoming a male whore, for luck of better word).
In my opinion Tiger should have been DQ'd....this will haunt him forever. Golf is a game of honor..I now agree with the haters, Tiger clearly has no respect for the game and this is not forgivable.
If you sing the score card with wrong score on it, regardless of the reasons, you are disqualified. Ask Roberto De Vicenzo and Tommy Aaron. This is “black and white” rule for every golfer regardless of race, regardless of place on our planet. Number of players has been disqualified lately along the same lines...those were white guys so they were not cut any slack... I like to think that Golf is still a "gentleman's game".
footnote…
DQ or WD would be the best thing for Tiger. Yes, the committee did rule and Tiger can stay, but their decision is not clear-cut enough to make complete sense. Tiger should have done the honorable thing. It would actually do a lot to enhance his rather tarnished image. Tiger obviously is not a gentleman. His former wife could concur.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516adc9a69beddc342000005cigarettemachinegunSun, 14 Apr 2013 12:43:06 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516adc9a69beddc342000005

I don't agree with what you said golf pro. It was an honest mistake because of the lateral water hazard rule. Their are so many "picky" rules in this game that it is difficult to be an expert on every one in every situation. The rules committee ruled on Friday night that he did NOT violate any rule. Only after Tiger admitted that he dropped behind the divot to obtain better yardage distance due to the mistake of not applying the proper rule to the relief he was taking that he was given a penalty. He admitted his mistake and took the penalty with courage and acceptance. The golf world has to accept that this rule has changed from disqualification to no disqualification with honest mistakes and viewer call ins. This game is tough enough as it is and having been in the golf business since the 60's and retired I full well know how mistakes can happen. I also was penalized 2 strokes during a tournament in the Chicago area for a rules infraction and I was not disqualified over 30 years ago---and I held my breath as the tournament committee pondered over my situation and what the right thing to do was. Disqualification should only be under the rules of golf when you intentionally violated a rule with the intent to CHEAT.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516aa87b69beddac36000036Golf ProSun, 14 Apr 2013 09:00:43 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516aa87b69beddac36000036
If that would be not black Tiger but let's say white Rory McIlroy, there would be immediate disqualification. I know Rory, he would actually disqualify himself. In my opinion Tiger should never be allowed to Golf hall of fame for what he did. I have no problem with him breaking the rules, he might have been confused (most blacks are) but after when he was made aware of signing wrong score card he should have disqualified himself! Immediately! Like all the Golfers before him! Golf is much bigger than one black man with attitude of entitlement and grandiosity.
P.S.
Stanford University kicked him out because his poor academic performance, Tiger is slow. Not the sharpest knife in PGA’s drawer.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516a543e69bedd403a000055YOUSun, 14 Apr 2013 03:01:18 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516a543e69bedd403a000055

Please, this is case of white golfers demanding from protected class of Black People like Tiger to self DQ. This is sacrilege; this is like questioning Holocaust in Germany or asking Obama for his University Transcripts or Birth Certificate.
If Woods were a White Christian golfer he would be disqualified, pronto! No doubts about that. Woods is untouchable like that tennis Man-Woman hybrid Serena (the Steroids Doper) Williams.
May God Bless Faldo, Chamblee and millions others who stand up for Golf’s integrity… I personally do not watch golf for tiger woods.

Well why don't we just kill Tiger. Since he is human and actually is a man and has done what so many others do all the time? Has he left a destitute wife? Maybe his failing is that he is not a failure and works like all of humanity through the quirks and miseries most men will never face. Maybe he is just too good and that is not allowed. I will not be his judge. And i would not be the judge of men who could do what he did and did not have the chance. Come on guys. Did you divorce your wife or be divorced and leave her in paradise? Do we have to hate the best? Seems so. Much could be said but this is over the top. Let the perfect one throw the first stone. I am sick of this. His wife and kids will be more than millionaires if we don't expect him to be god.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169e2b8ecad04716c000035joe weinSat, 13 Apr 2013 18:56:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169e2b8ecad04716c000035

When are you going to pull the race card Gary?
This is not personal --it's about the rules of the game and honesty and integrity which is required of every player.
In golf, unlike most other sports where officials "call the ball", it is up to the individual player to officiate themselves honestly. They can call for a ruling BEFORE they play the ball and a PGA official will give consultation but it is up to the individual player to know and follow the rules.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169db41eab8ea5e27000011joe weinSat, 13 Apr 2013 18:25:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169db41eab8ea5e27000011
for the integrity of the game of golf nick faldo said he should disqualify himself. Fred Couples said he shouldn't. Does nick faldo have more integrity then fred couples? pga golf clubs go threw great lengths to keep black people out of there clubs. golf is a racist sport. many golfers are racist as well. lets take fuzzy for example. for the integrity of golf, are these people kidding me, if it was up to them we still be living in segregation. so, with that being said, all golfers and pga tour people come forward and admit your racist so we can keep the integrity of golf.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169da53ecad049161000013honesty & integritySat, 13 Apr 2013 18:21:07 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169da53ecad049161000013
If you have followed the game of golf for a long, long time as you say --then you would know that golf is not only a game of skills and strategy --but honesty and integrity --and the latter are of the utmost importance above all else.
When a player finds them self in a position that in any way puts into question their honesty & integrity it is incumbent on them to do the right thing post haste.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169da02ecad04ad6300002aflintSat, 13 Apr 2013 18:19:46 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169da02ecad04ad6300002a

Golf has stupid rules and gets very picky at times. This is coming from a player that has made his living at golf for many years and does know the game and rules. I seen the drop in real time and didn't think anything about a rule violation. I do remember thinking when he was dropping---MAKE SURE THE BALL DOESN'T ROLL INTO THE PREVIOUS DIVOT. That's what I would have been conscious of and could have easily violated the rule itself also. As far as he was violating the rule on purpose----Not a chance-- he was thinking no closer to the hole and don't go in the previous divot along with yardage based on previous shot. So if he needed more distance from flag he was going to drop behind the divot---not on it.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a5956bb3f7bc79000009AREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 14:36:05 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a5956bb3f7bc79000009
They said the 2 shot penalty was for playing the ball from the wrong spot a violation of 20-7. He admits to attempting to play the ball from further back which violates 26-1a but would not violate 26-1b.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a468ecad04517f000010GregSat, 13 Apr 2013 14:31:04 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a468ecad04517f000010
The strongest evidence in his favor is that the 2 yard change did not improve his situation at all...made the shot minutely harder actually. That speaks to motive and supports the conclusion that he was completely unaware that he dropped in a slightly different spot at the time that it happened. I took his comment in the interview to be discussing what he noticed after the fact,
Arguably the 2 stroke penalty is inappropriate given the amount of wiggle in "as close as possible" on an open fairway.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a434ecad04457f000010Michael HarrisSat, 13 Apr 2013 14:30:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a434ecad04457f000010

Wrong. If he had dropped under option b, he would have been in a different place. He was not dropping under this option and so has no right to go back as far as he likes. He was dropping under option a: "... playing a ball as nearly as possible at the spot from which the original ball was last played".http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a0dc6bb3f7e46e000013the_turkSat, 13 Apr 2013 14:15:56 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169a0dc6bb3f7e46e000013

The press conference that just happened trying to explain this was a joke. I expected them to say Tiger was trying to use 26-1b when in fact they say he was trying to use 26-1a. So on video it looked perfectly fine under 26-1a to drop the ball a few feet back of the original shot but because he said he was trying to drop it back a few yards it's now a penalty? They should have had a rules official with every group and didn't. They should have told him before he finished and didn't. They should make up their minds about whether or not officials can intervene to let a golfer know if he has made a mistake before they sign their card.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51699e1869bedd7522000034thedaltonSat, 13 Apr 2013 14:04:08 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51699e1869bedd7522000034

Are you kidding me? A rules committee changes a ruling based on a tv caller? And you are worried about Tiger not DQ'ing himself? Let the rules committee do their job.
And just alike all sports there will be mis-rulings and people disagreeing on both sides.
It seems that the rules committee originally didnt think it was infraction. Till Woods comment. Then they changed ruling. But Tiger had signed card based on prior ruling.
They have now assessed him the penalty .. wtf is wrong with you people?
So he should DQ himself for signing a scorecard incorrectly? When the rules committee had ruled that he did NOT need to assess penalty. It is now only incorrect because rules committee changed ruling. Hence why he is not DQ'd. again he DID get assessed the penalty for the incorrect drop!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169931569bedd790c000010AREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 13:17:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169931569bedd790c000010
Wrong......they determined before he finished that it was a legal drop and therefore had no reason to confront him or let him know and they did not. The course got phone calls about the drop and then after he gave the interview and they called him in to question what he said.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169925b69bedd7a09000023slantinalSat, 13 Apr 2013 13:14:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169925b69bedd7a09000023

While there are those that are calling for Tiger to DQ himself .. there are also just as many that agree that the penalty assessed is correct.

He thinks its fantastic they didnt DQ him, its exactly why the new rule was put into place...but media wont play that clip...http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516989a9eab8ea3d7c000006reaganSat, 13 Apr 2013 12:36:57 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516989a9eab8ea3d7c000006
the rule is "as near as......NO CLOSER TO THE HOLE"
The outrage is that any penalty is assessed at all. Tiger should just play in Europe,f 'emhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/51698870ecad04464900001cAREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 12:31:44 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51698870ecad04464900001c
Rule 26-1b
b. Drop a ball behind the water hazard, keeping the point at which the original ball last crossed the margin of the water hazard directly between the hole and the spot on which the ball is dropped, with no limit to how far behind the water hazard the ball may be dropped; or
THE RULE itself allows the player to advantage themselves as much as they want. So if it is a violation of the rules to advantage your shot why is this rule allowed? Following a rule to move you ball back as far as you want is not intentionally advantaging yourself. Feel free to let Brandon "the golf know it all" what the rules are.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516985b1eab8ea3072000010rbwSat, 13 Apr 2013 12:20:01 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516985b1eab8ea3072000010
Faldo is an arrogant blowhard. See Rule 33.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169857deab8eaee74000003JDDSat, 13 Apr 2013 12:19:09 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169857deab8eaee74000003
This just shows why golf is such a stupid game. It's about as much fun as watching cars go around in circles in Nascar. C'mon the "golf world" is all outraged about how far away Tiger drops the ball from his original spot? Like it gives him some unfair advantage, he's Tiger Woods, best golfer in history. They should have ball spot referees then like they do in NFL Football then with measuring sticks and chains. Opposing players should be allowed to challenge Tiger's ball drop spot too, two stroke penalty if it's outside of a 2 inch radius.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169850d69bedd7b5f000021DaddySat, 13 Apr 2013 12:17:17 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169850d69bedd7b5f000021

Technically, he can play on sure, but the number 1 in the world should DQ himself or he will forever tarnish himself and the game.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516981e669beddee61000011Jack NSat, 13 Apr 2013 12:03:50 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516981e669beddee61000011

Wow, this incident seems to tarnish the gushing praise BI gave
the golfer in the five or so articles posted prior to the tournament....http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169818469beddcf61000008AREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 12:02:12 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169818469beddcf61000008
Tiger on Twitter
<a href="https://twitter.com/TigerWoods" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" >https://twitter.com/TigerWoods</a>http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169816c6bb3f79d3000001bsumbichSat, 13 Apr 2013 12:01:48 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5169816c6bb3f79d3000001b
Disqualification is the only proper outcome here. Woods, by self-admission, knowingly broke a rule to gain an advantage. He then signed an improper scorecard and should be disqualified.
Two hours to tee time right now, Tiger. Still time to do the proper thing and DQ yourself.
It's the right thing to do.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516980bc6bb3f7af32000018AREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 11:58:52 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516980bc6bb3f7af32000018
If he stays and goes on to win can you imagine how many spectators at future golf events are going to intentionally interrupt his shots?? HEY CHEATER.........NICE DROP TIGER........NOONAN MISS NOONAN......http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697ee469bedd3f4f000022West Bay WaderSat, 13 Apr 2013 11:51:00 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697ee469bedd3f4f000022
“Well, rules are rules,” he said. This is Tiger when asked about Guan's penalty yesterday.
On his shot he said:
“Well, I went down to the drop area, that wasn’t going to be a good spot, because obviously it’s into the grain, it’s really grainy there. And it was a little bit wet. So it was muddy and not a good spot to drop. So I went back to where I played it from, but two yards further back, and I took, tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit.”
“And that should land me short of the flag and not have it either hit the flag or skip over the back,” he said. “I felt that that was going to be the right decision to take off four right there. And I did. It worked out perfectly.”
He knowingly played the ball at a spot different than his last shot. A rule he is supposed to know. Everyone else would have been DQ'd. He does not have the class to WD!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697ec46bb3f7bc32000006MayaSat, 13 Apr 2013 11:50:28 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697ec46bb3f7bc32000006
He gave that interview after officials told him they reviewed his drop and deemed it legal so when he gave the interview he didnt believe he was cheating. Also if he knew he was cheating then why would he mention anything about his ball placement? Tiger is getting blamed for a mistake the rules committee made. Why should he have to withdraw for an illegal drop that he was told was legal?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697eab6bb3f7ba32000001AREYOUKIDDINGMESat, 13 Apr 2013 11:50:03 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697eab6bb3f7ba32000001
After watching the last few hours of Brandon Chambliss on the Golf channel repeatedly put a beat down on Tiger about how he intentionally made an advantage for himself one has to wonder if he is really a member of the KKK. Seriously Brandon, you continue to make yourself look like a fool. He was clearly confusing the rules and did nothing to advantage himself.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697c216bb3f71a2a000026Jack NSat, 13 Apr 2013 11:39:13 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697c216bb3f71a2a000026
Inadvertent violation of the rules for sure.......nonetheless an advantage was gained and and an arbitrary assessment of 2 strokes was made. The advantage gained may have been more than 2 strokes....we'll never know, perhaps making the penalty moot and thereby clearly effecting the integrity of the event.
Tiger should DQ himself. He does himself more good than the ensuing tarnish causes harm for not.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697bb46bb3f7542e000001hangSat, 13 Apr 2013 11:37:24 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/51697bb46bb3f7542e000001

Simple fact is the rules committee totally blew that call. The video CLEARLY shows he violated the rule and at first look they said no violation. They SHOULD HAVE told him at the 18th hole he may have made a mistake and give him the option to adjust his score and they didn't. This was their mistake and that is why they have to let him play on HOWEVER......TIGER should immediately DQ himself just for being stupid and not calling an official over and asking. Golf is always above Tiger or anyone else no matter what the rules officials say.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516978e3eab8ea1457000015Tragic FigureSat, 13 Apr 2013 11:25:23 -0400http://www.businessinsider.com/c/516978e3eab8ea1457000015
If it was anyone else but T. Woods, he would have been DQ.
